I've had one since October last year and absolutely luv it. Tend to drive in Adaptive mode for regen and have had 270 miles of range which is close to the advertised. The ability to use all of the Amazon apps without plugging in the phone is cool as well as 3rd party apps integrating with the head up display makes max use of nav capabilities etc. All in all it's a step change from my old Merc.

Exactly my thinking, the reaction time. After driving electric for years, sitting in an ICE car -- even a sports car -- you're missing this immediate reaction. But that's not something you notice on a short test drive. I'm approaching a full year now with my iX3, including a few holiday trips, there's actually not a single big fault with the car. A few minor boring things but I can easily live with them. So good luck and lots of fun with your iX3!

Thanks for this review. Watched other reviews from experts on this car. Most of them had a lot of information or opinions that were not relevant to my driving requirements. This was a simplified yet perfect perspective I needed. Test drove one today and loved how it drove. Switching from a lovely and luxurious Lexus 450H Hybrid which is also a great drive but guzzles fuel like nobody’s business. Don’t do a tremendous amount of miles like yourself so from that viewpoint this seems the perfect solution. Cheers👍

Great review. I like that you compared it like a regular person moving into a BEV for the first time and coming from a car that’s maybe a few years older without a lot of the cool gadgets that a new vehicle has. Most reviewers just compare all all BEVs and only the latest vehicles. They also ignore the fact that most cars you have to spec up, but the iX3 comes pretty much fully loaded. Most ppl don’t option 360 cameras and HUDs cos they’re expensive options, but I feel like they really should be the default spec. I also did the exercise or configuring a diesel 30d model to the same spec and they were the same price! So weird cos the diesel is manufactured in my country, and the BEV imports from China!

@@HastingsKickboxingAcademyupdate 2 - so after 9,000 miles my personal view hasn’t changed (as above) but I think there’s far too much anti-EV propaganda around. I average about 14-15K a year and certainly don’t have range anxiety, any complaints about charging times and all that. The tech is moving quickly and prices are coming down, an EV doesn’t suit everyone but I suspect it really would suit a lot more people then they will admit. To be anti-EV is a great band waggon to jump on despite most probably never having used one day to day. Hope you’re still enjoying yours. 👍

Got one of the very first LCI iX3 in the Uk, now done 8k miles and am getting 250m to a charge (warm weather) and 210m in cold weather. Top tip, if you use Eco Pro mode, it uses more energy!!! I have found that comfort mode gives better mileage, think it’s due to acceleration. To get up to speed in Eco, you need to use more power. Changed from X3 M40d and wouldn’t change back. I loved my old one, but the iX3 is another level.

Regarding regen mode: I'm used to the one-pedal driving ("B" mode) in other electric cars, so I'm using it all the time. If you're cruising on the highway, then you use the cruise control anyways, and all other times finding the "neutral" spot on the gas pedal is not too hard, so you can still sail while resting your foot in this position. Although I have to admit this neutral zone on iX3 is quite a bit narrower than on Tesla. One thing I especially like about the "B" mode is that it implies Auto-Hold. The Auto-Hold without "B" on iX3 is basically useless and scary, so I actually never use it. It's either "B" and implicit Auto-Hold, or no Auto-Hold at all. An additional benefit of driving in the "B" mode is that when you actually need to break hard in an emergency condition, the car starts slowing down the moment you lift off gas, a few milliseconds before you hit the brake pedal. Depending on the speed, these milliseconds can be a difference between hitting something hard or stopping directly in front of it. This one alone is actually worth it to keep driving in this mode. Unless you do left foot braking, which would typically mean you're a sports/track driver and know what you're doing anyways :)

Hey, how is it going with your iX3? Still have it? Enjoying it? What I miss is the true reviews of owners. It seems to be such an "easy" experience - it's just a car, it's doing what it's meant to do. Not many are reporting anything, because "it just works".

Do you still have the car? If so what range are you getting now? Contemplating one currently, get 320-400miles on a tank of fuel at present, would be happy with 250ish on an EV. Really don't like the look of the Tesla's.

Yep still have the car, still living it. On a run I’m still getting 250 a charge. On my weeks round town 190/210. But I do have a heavy foot 🦶 so I’m told 🫣

Hello hello, iX3 people. Any reliability issues so far? Software, electronics? Was the summer tolerable with the massive glass roof covered up? Thanks

Hi, I’ve only had 1 engine train issue (which turned out to be a sensor) that took the car straigh away and gave me a brand new IX for a week. So I was happy. No others issues in the last 5 months. All running nice 👌 love the car.

Hello! At last! Does the massive sunroof make it feel hot inside the car? And the seats, comfy? Suspension, does it thud over holes in the road? You're getting evils, perhaps not because of the car. It may be your music...Just kidding, don't kickbox and knock me out. CONGRATULATIONS, from Singapore!!

At last indeed ;) And yes it does, the first week I had it open and felt lovely and open, then the last few days it’s heated up, so had to close it as really did warm the car up. Seats are very good. Little hard atm, expecting them to soften in time, pot holes, I now love them, when the wife’s in the car 🚗 i aim for them to show off how smooth it is. Lol. As for my music 🎶, well, can’t please everyone. Lol. I think it was more of the aggressive front end chasing down and silly little Honda ;)
